I strongly prefer a left tilt table saw as most do (except lefties I
suppose).I sometimes see right tilt saw for sale pretty cheap, like an
old unisaw for a few hun. What if you swaped the wires on the motor,
swaped the fence and ran the bitch from the other side? Could that be
done?

The main trouble is that almost every tool power or hand tool, is made for a
right handed user.
The "hold-on" button is always on the left hand side of the handle
Power saws have the motor on the left hand side
most axes are right handed, as are hammers, or is it only the handles which
are right handed?
You can buy a left handed shifting spanner, but you have to look hard to get
one and try them out before buying
It might be an English thing, their car steering wheel is on the right hand
side.
Or, it may be a religious thing,
when I went to a religious school,
the teachers used to crack kids on the knuckles with the edge of a 15" ruler
if they tried writing with their left hand.
